Crawling Chaos Let the Vultures Sing Our Deeds lyrics

Divine punishment at stake
The beloved of the gods
Fruitful lands worth their price in blood
Crimson banners are summoned

Ruler of Lagash, Ensi of the land
Lead your faithful soldiers
Sender the army of Umma
To plant the seeds of your dynasty

The phalanx is unleashed
Fearless heroes, a living engine of violence
Defeated enemies trampled below their feet
Spears piercing chests, decapitation drawing near

Vultures flying above
The heads of the foes in their beaks
A bloody victory
Forever carved in stone
For the centuries to come

Forever carved in stone
For the centuries to come

Inspired by the giant Ningirsu
Wielding a mace in his right hand
Anzu, the lion-headed eagle by him
A net full of naked bodies at his feet

The mother of the god, goddess herself
Ninhursag observes, sacrifice ahead
Her horned headband is towering behind
The marching soldiers' shouldered spears


Vultures flying above

The chariot is ready, first strike, the king's strike
Head crushed by the iron, the battle begins
The deafening clash of the human waves fills the field
Scattered bodies, gutted, pierced, maimed and nailed to the sand

The naked priest prepares for the libation ritual
Animal blood feeds the freshly soaked ground
Slaves begin cutting into the necks of the fallen
The defeated ones beheaded, with no exception

The phalanx is unleashed
Fearless heroes, a living engine of violence
Defeated enemies trampled below their feet
Spears piercing chests, decapitation drawing near

Vultures flying above
The heads of the foes in their beaks
A bloody victory
Forever carved in stone
For the centuries to come

Forever carved in stone
For the centuries to come

A bloody victory
Forever carved in stone
Forever carved in stone
For the centuries to come
